This project first aimed to generate a case for lymphoedema as a health-related need with potential to benefit from health care. Subjects were interviewed and examined for evidence of clinical filariasis (lymphangitis, lymphoedema or elephantiasis). Triangulation of quantitative and qualitative data regarding use of lymphoedema services provides evidence of unmet need. Clients with both types of lymphoedema described having to be persistent in requesting help, which depended on prior knowledge of lymphoedema. Considering the increasing numbers of women surviving breast cancer, the prevalence of lymphoedema within the population is likely to grow. Several issues came to light, including a lack of awareness of lymphoedema, of its management, and of available services. Only 5 of the surveyed referrers indicated that they would refer to a specific lymphoedema service. The independent practitioner received patients with all forms of lymphoedema and was located further north. Responses to the referrer survey indicated that 37 of the 44 respondents had some experience of lymphoedema. After 4 weeks of therapy with oral tetracycline the cellulitis resolved, but he was left with permanent lymphoedema of one leg. However, consensus from referrers, providers, and clients indicated that there were obstacles to achieving diagnosis and referral, especially for those with non-cancer-related lymphoedema. It appeared that service provision was sufficient for individuals with cancer-related lymphoedema, with comparatively fewer barriers to diagnosis and referral, although this was not guaranteed. In contrast, individuals with primary lymphoedema were likely to experience lengthy delays owing to the lack of awareness of referrers, and a lack of coordination of investigation and diagnosis. The likelihood of referral was explored by asking about the stage at which referral would be likely to occur and by investigating views regarding the needs of lymphoedema patients.
